-<p>We have already discussed the directory structure in Slackware Linux. By this point,
-you should be able to find files and directories that you need. But there is more to the
-filesystem than just the directory structure.</p>
-
-<p>Linux is a multiuser operating system. Every aspect of the system is multiuser, even
-the filesystem. The system stores information like who owns a file and who can read it.
-There are other unique parts about the filesystems, such as links and NFS mounts. This
-section explains these, as well as the multiuser aspects of the filesystem.</p>
-
-<div class="SECT1">
-<h1 class="SECT1"><a id="FILESYSTEM-STRUCTURE-OWNERSHIP"
-name="FILESYSTEM-STRUCTURE-OWNERSHIP">9.1 Ownership</a></h1>
-
-<p>The filesystem stores ownership information for each file and directory on the system.
-This includes what user and group own a particular file. The easiest way to see this
-information is with the <tt class="COMMAND">ls</tt> command:</p>
-
-<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
-<tr>
-<td>
-<pre class="SCREEN">
-<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">ls -l /usr/bin/wc</kbd>
--rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 7368 Jul 30 1999 /usr/bin/wc
-</pre>
-</td>
-</tr>
-</table>
-
-<p>We are interested in the third and fourth columns. These contain the username and
-group name that owns this file. We see that the user &#8220;<tt
-class="USERNAME">root</tt>&#8221; and the group &#8220;<tt
-class="USERNAME">bin</tt>&#8221; own this file.</p>
-
-<p>We can easily change the file owners with the <tt class="COMMAND">chown</tt>(1) (which
-means &#8220;change owner&#8221;) and <tt class="COMMAND">chgrp</tt>(1) (which means
-&#8220;change group&#8221;) commands. To change the file owner to <tt
-class="USERNAME">daemon</tt>, we would use <tt class="COMMAND">chown</tt>:</p>
-
-<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
-<tr>
-<td>
-<pre class="SCREEN">
-<samp class="PROMPT">#</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">chown daemon /usr/bin/wc</kbd>
-</pre>
-</td>
-</tr>
-</table>
-
-<p>To change the group owner to &#8220;<tt class="USERNAME">root</tt>&#8221;, we would
-use <tt class="COMMAND">chgrp</tt>:</p>
-
-<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
-<tr>
-<td>
-<pre class="SCREEN">
-<samp class="PROMPT">#</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">chgrp root /usr/bin/wc</kbd>
-</pre>
-</td>
-</tr>
-</table>
-
-<p>We can also use <tt class="COMMAND">chown</tt> to specify the user and group owners
-for a file:</p>
-
-<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
-<tr>
-<td>
-<pre class="SCREEN">
-<samp class="PROMPT">#</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">chown daemon:root /usr/bin/wc</kbd>
-</pre>
-</td>
-</tr>
-</table>
-
-<p>In the above example, the user could have used a period instead of a colon. The result
-would have been the same; however, the colon is considered better form. Use of the period
-is deprecated and may be removed from future versions of <tt class="COMMAND">chown</tt>
-to allow usernames with periods in them. These usernames tend to be very popular with
-Windows Exchange Servers and are encountered most commonly in email addresses such as:
-<var class="LITERAL">mr.jones@example.com</var>. In slackware, administrators are advised
-to stay away from such usernames because some scripts still use the period to indicate
-the user and group of a file or directory. In our example, <tt class="COMMAND">chmod</tt>
-would interpret <var class="LITERAL">mr.jones</var> as user &#8220;mr&#8221; and group
-&#8220;jones&#8221;.</p>
-
-<p>File ownership is a very important part of using a Linux system, even if you are the
-only user. You sometimes need to fix ownerships on files and device nodes.</p>
